Had my final round last week at McK and still haven’t heard back. Resisting the urge to ping the recruiter until at least next week.
As an aside, I sent thank-you notes to all of the interviewers but didn’t hear back. None bounced back so I’m hopeful that I got the email convention right. Send me good vibes!

good luck!!!!

Good luck, OP!

Good luck OP :)

Thank you notes have zero impact but more for you to feel better about your interview :)

1 week is longer than usual but could just be that interviewers haven't gotten together to discuss your case. Sending you positive vibes.

I'd ping the recruiter Tuesday if I've not heard back by Monday.

If it’s been more than a week I hate to say it but it’s almost certainly a no. We’re very quick to get out the offer notifications especially, although even turndowns are supposed to be done within like 2-3 days

That’s what I was afraid of, as they were quick to move me through the rounds as I passed each successive case. Oh well….it was a good experience and I’ll try again in the future once I get feedback on my performance. Thanks!

Long post alert; I have been interviewing with a b4 for a senior con role since Mar end. Cleared all the rounds including case study and got strong rating as well as good feedback. Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)
